Highflying Nakuru RFC have accredited their great start to the ongoing National Sevens Circuit to the financial stability, brought about by their partners, Smart Applications International with the club currently ranked third in the Sevens standings.

The Wanyore, under the tutelage of their former captain Oscar Ouma, made an impressive start to the season in Mombasa, finishing fourth overall in the Driftwood Sevens, after falling to Kabras sugar 21-10 in the Bronze final.

They had come up short 28-0 in their semi-final pairing against Strathmore Leos but there were flashes of brilliance in the relatively young squad.

Smart Applications have backed Nakuru for the past season helping them avoid relegation last term and have started the shorter version of the game in good form heading to the third leg of the national sevens circuit, the Christie Sevens.

Smart CEO Isaiah Mosiori was previously quoted saying, “We’re proud to walk this journey with Nakuru RFC, not just as sponsors but as partners, supporting their progression towards becoming champions.”

It’s a dream the Wanyore faithful will hope becomes a reality sooner rather than later, starting with the NSC which they last won in 2015.

Nakuru’s most successful Kenya Cup campaigns dates back to 2013 and 2014 when they won the local league back to back.

They are in Group B for this weekend’s Christie Sevens alongside Catholic Monks, Impala and Masinde Muliro University (MMUST RFC).
